The Youth Representative

Last year, Kareem El- Ansary, the 2019 Youth Representative to the United Nations, sought to answer the question:‘What would Australia look like if young people are heard today?’
This report aims to provide the answer.

The Youth Representative program is the largest entirely youth-led consultation of young people in Australia. For seven months, Kareem held consultations in schools, community groups, non-profit organisations, clubs and associations, Universities and Tafes, and juvenile detention centres. This year, thousands of young Australians participated in the program.
